POST No 421!!!! Belated cause for celebration!
ok better now anyhew the phosphors are ordered to custom spec for plant PAR absorption spectra. This blend comes at a cost to the green -orange visible regions which of course is not high PAR regions for plants anyway. This blend bought in large quantities is the reason IG lamps, as Spliff and others journals have indicated, consistently outperform the Chinese triphosphors in any side by sides they are run in. In stating a kelvin value it's going to be referencing the visual component of the lamps output and not the PFFD value. Perhaps the Chinese inventor of the induction lamp you were speaking to neglected to mention that in your conversations. Their pointing you in the direction of the Inda-Gro site though proves that while they may not want to make the investment in custom broad spectrum phosphors they have no problem directing you to those that have and than selling you a cheaper pair of lamps from their inventory. Gotta love it.
